Clamourous! Python in Excel!

It was a long time ago since they started announcing that Python could become the new script languange for Excel and I almost forgot it, when Guido Von Rossum himself twitted (or posted on X) that Microsoft has released a Public Preview of Python in Excel.

“You can type Python directly into a cell, the Python calculation run in the Microsoft Cloud, and the result are returned to the worksheet, including plots and visualizations.”

Get started with Python in Excel

Python in Excel is currently available to users running Beta Channel on Windows. This feature will roll out to Excel for Windows first, starting with build 16.0.16818.20000, and then to the other platforms at a later date.

To use Python in Excel, join the Microsoft 365 Insider Program. Choose the Beta Channel Insider level to get the latest builds of the Excel application.  

For the ones that have not the Microsofts 365 subscription, I remember that you can use Excel with Python with many libraries.
